Nissan unveils the third-generation Qashqai, set to be on sale in Singapore by end-2021.

Hot off the heels of Honda's all-new HR-V/Vezel debut, Nissan has reinvented its Qashqai compact SUV, from the inside out, for today’s customers looking for striking attraction, comfort, refinement, efficiency and the latest in convenient and intuitive technology.

The all-new Qashqai features a more toned, sharp and modern style, while still maintaining its unmistakable character. In its details, the styling reflects Nissan’s global design language, notably the V-Motion grille, “floating roof” and use of precise, taut lines that generate simple, bold surfaces and muscular volumes.

The LED headlamps are now slimmer and sharper, and features technology that adapts the shape of the beam according to the road conditions and other road-users.

The all-new Qashqai will be available in 11 body colours, with five two-tone combinations. This allows customers to choose from a total of 16 colour variations.

New seat materials and new white ambient lighting allow the driver and passengers to enjoy a premium and harmonious experience inside the vehicle. New premium materials, smart features and fine detailing enhance a cabin that delivers cutting-edge design and practicality in every dimension.

The all-new Qashqai offers an advanced infotainment system with an impressive portfolio of connected services including effortless integration of smartphones, in-car WiFi for up to seven devices and NissanConnect Services, which is a dedicated app to control and monitor the vehicle.

A new high-definition, fully electronic 12.3-inch TFT multi-information screen offers a choice of configurable layouts to display navigation, entertainment, traffic or vehicle information, controlled from a new tactile dial switch on the steering wheel. The TFT’s digital background has a Japanese Kiriko cut glass motif – a nod to Nissan’s Japanese DNA.

A new 10.8-inch Head-Up Display (HUD) projects key navigation, driver assistance and road information onto the windscreen within the driver’s line of vision, allowing drivers to maintain their focus on the road for more comfort and confidence at the wheel.

The high resolution 9-inch NissanConnect display screen features navigation, entertainment and vehicle settings, and is compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa home-to-car skills are also supported.

Two powertrain options will be available on the all-new Qashqai. The first is a 12-volt mild hybrid system comprising a 1.3-litre turbocharged engine and a lithium-ion battery pack.

The e‑POWER drive system found in the Nissan Kicks e-POWER will also be available, which delivers a compact, high-output electrified system that, thanks also to the high combustion efficiency of the engine, delivers more efficiency.

The Nissan Qashqai and the Honda HR-V/Vezel are two extremely popular compact SUVs in our Singaporean market. Now that all-new models have been debuted for both nameplates at the same time, which one will you choose?
